Ohio college grads - a carrot for you
Ohio college grads this carrots for you...
Edit Update Grants for Grads - OHFA
A financial carrot.
"A little-noticed provision tucked into the $50.5 billion, two-year state budget signed last week by Gov. Ted Strickland will reward college graduates who choose to stay in Ohio by offering them help buying their first homes."
from an article on Toledoblade.com by  Jim Provance called "College grads offered help with 1st house" well I guess it is also subtitled "Recipients must stay in state 5 years " Five years is nothing. That will be over before you know it...
In a sidebar to the article "How Would It Work"... basically it looks like there is not yet a lot of info about how it will work...but it will be administered through OHFA.  It would be a grant, forgiven after five years but a lien against the property if you'd leave the state, in less than 5 years.
"The program dangles a financial carrot for college and university graduates to settle down in Ohio for at least five years."
